RE: Working remotely in Vietnam: This is a great place for that

I was just going to say sometimes it is great to have an alternative from home especially if you do this all the time. I think even if I had the best views and best set up at home I would still use one of these spaces every now and then. here are many countries offering special visas for those working as nomads and you get all the perks a normal citizen of that country would receive.

Agreed. My home workstation has multiple monitors and my fridge is right behind me. I'm in front of a big window with a view. However, this is still my home and I want to be able to separate my work life from my leisure time and this is why I will get out and go to "the office" and I find I get down to business and focus more on actually working once I get out of the house. I suppose I am fortunate to be able to choose when and where I am going to work but I do so at a decrease in pay from if I was in an office. To me it is worth it but to others maybe it wouldn't be!

I also think I would achieve more in another environment because there are no distractions. A friend of mine rents an office in a small town nearby where he lives because it feels like he is getting up for work and not walking around at home in his jocks lol.

There are indeed too many distractions in my house as well. On the days that I go to "the office" I tend to get straight to it whereas if I am at home it is really easy for me to slip into a YouTube rabbit hole for long stretches of time in lieu of doing actual work.
